UN chemist receives $226,000 NIH grant Chemistry professor Walter Hill has received a three-year, $226,000 grant from the National Institutes o f Health (NIH) to continue his research on ribosomes. Ribosomes are tiny structures in living cells, double-bodied homes to strings of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins. Ribosomes manufacture proteins for the body following instructions encoded by the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) o f genes. But how the ribosomes make that transition from communicating to manufacturing is still a mystery. H ill’s efforts to unlock that mystery hold implications for breakthroughs in diagnostic medicine, cancer research and immunology.

The Bureau is active in conducting surveys, from the quarterly Montana Poll on various issues affecting the state to individuals surveys for independent clients. The Bureau also holds highly popular, annual, econmic outlook seminars around the state, gathering representatives from business and government to discuss prospects for the coming year. Each seminar features a local business panel and a segment devoted to a current topic, such as the sta te’s natural resource industries. The Bureau also provides a County Data Package service including demographic information on personal income, population, employment and households for counties across Montana. The information can be an invaluable marketing tool for all types of businesses, from retailers wondering where to target a direct-mail piece to real estate agents who have to know each individual neighborhood. Finally, the Bureau is able to answer individual requests for information or to serve as a referral source for obtaining further information.

Abundant wildlife, suitability for ranching and only limited local oil and gas exploration make the area an ideal site for conservation-oriented research sponsored by the Boone and Crockett Club. The club, founded almost a century ago by Teddy Roosevelt, bought the Triple Divide Ranch in 1985 and renamed it the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch (TRM Ranch). The invitation-only club, whose regular members number just over 100, is the official keeper of statistics on rifle-hunted North American big game. The group also sponsors graduate-level wildlife research, promotes conservation measures, and encourages wildlife education for hunters and non-hunters alike. The University of Montana is a prime beneficiary o f the c lu b ’s purchase o f the ranch. The club plans to raise $900,000 for UM—the interest from which will pay a Boone and Crockett Research P rofessor’s salary and Members of the Boone & Crockett Club who recently tonred the finance research projects.
